my 18' with tyres are lighter than my frd's BC P1 in 15' =)

What are you referring to in terms of "about the same"? Cast and forged are different in terms of density, strength and putting design to one side - weight.

I am a bit confused now - is it 7-8kg or is it 6.xx kg? Some of the P1s are cast as well.

My bad:D . My point is, your wheels is light weight but 6,xx kg is like a bit overly to low for 18". if it is 8,xx kg should be about right. But forged vs cast, I'll still think forged is typically lighter and stonger than the cast since forged involves more making process to produce solid, stronger and lighter than other material.:D Note in wheels world, even 0.2 kg is very considerable in their making process.

You can have cast rims that have thinner spokes and material in order to reduce weight. Of course, it won't be as strong as an equivalent weight forged rim.

should be about 7.XXkg but i cbf to find out the EXACT kg (it is on 5zigen site i guess) u are cool as I understand 0.1 kg is still a different but i dun really mind as i paid half the price for the similar STYLE of rims which is COOL. I also dun really mind to have a WEAKER rims as i believe it wont BREAK lol

It's about 8.xx - 9.xx depends on the width for 18" based on the 5 zigen website but hey, the wheels are cool and comes with very good price and it's consider light in its class.:thumbsup: . No matter what finishing do you have forged or cast when you crash it hard, it'll still brake.
